Ideal Foster Home or Nursery Setting - Exceptional Five Bedroom Property Available to Let

Homelet are delighted to present this substantial five-bedroom property, formerly known as the Meals on Wheels House, offering outstanding space and versatility. With its generous layout, multiple reception rooms, ground floor bedroom and bathroom suite, and allocated parking, this property is ideally suited for use as a foster home (subject to relevant permissions) or nursery setting.

This impressive residence provides a rare opportunity for organisations or individuals seeking a spacious and adaptable property capable of meeting the needs of children in a safe, comfortable, and structured environment.

Perfect for a Foster Home Setting

The scale and layout of the property make it particularly well-suited for fostering arrangements. With five very spacious bedrooms, the home allows for comfortable individual rooms while still maintaining communal areas where children can gather, relax, and interact.

The ground floor bedroom and bathroom suite offers enhanced accessibility and flexibility. This feature is especially valuable for:
* Children requiring ground floor accommodation
* Carers needing convenient access
* Visiting professionals
* Multigenerational living arrangements

The separate reception rooms provide the opportunity to create clearly defined living areas. The main lounge can serve as a central communal space for relaxation and family time, while the additional sitting room may function as a quiet room, study area, therapy room, or private meeting space for support services.

The dedicated dining room encourages structured mealtimes and shared family experiences, which are essential in fostering environments. The spacious kitchen supports meal preparation for larger households and provides ample storage and work surfaces for practical day-to-day living.

The layout promotes both supervision and independence, with clearly defined zones that support structured routines while maintaining a homely atmosphere.

Suitable for a Nursery or Childcare Setting (Subject to Permissions)

For those exploring the potential for a nursery or childcare environment (subject to all necessary planning and regulatory approvals), this property offers a strong foundation.

The generous internal space allows for:
* Designated play areas
* Quiet learning or reading zones
* Staff office or administration space
* Meal preparation facilities
* Rest areas

Multiple reception rooms create natural divisions between active and quiet spaces. The large dining room could accommodate group activities or supervised meal times, while the spacious lounge and sitting room offer flexibility for age-appropriate learning and play environments.

The ground floor bedroom and bathroom suite provides an accessible facility that could be adapted for staff use or specific childcare needs, depending on regulatory requirements.

Allocated parking spaces are an additional advantage, offering convenience for carers, staff members, and authorised visitors. Safe and practical access is an essential consideration for both fostering and childcare settings.

Spacious and Flexible Accommodation

The property comprises:
* Five very spacious bedrooms
* Ground floor bedroom and bathroom suite
* Large main lounge
* Separate sitting room
* Dedicated dining room
* Generous kitchen with extensive workspace
* Family bathroom
* Allocated parking spaces
* Pets may be considered

Every room within the property offers impressive proportions, allowing for flexible furnishing and layout options. The home's previous use contributes to its practical configuration, while its residential character ensures a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

A Safe and Comfortable Environment

Space is one of the most important factors when creating a supportive environment for children. This property provides:
* Ample personal space for occupants
* Clearly defined communal areas
* Opportunities for quiet study and reflection
* Room for structured daily routines
* Practical layout for supervision and care

The separation between reception rooms enables effective management of daily activities while maintaining a calm and organised environment.
